Speaking of YVR, did anyone go there today to get some pictures or autographs with celebrities or athletes? Anyone planning to go today and/or tomorrow?

Most of them are gone, I don't think you'll find many tomorrow.

my vid from yesterday about half an hour after we won gold.


thats me sliding the flag onto the tree branch at the end :D

these picture are worth quoting again and it is also to be considered as POWERFUL picture ....

nice epic picture :thumbsup: thank you

Anyone have a link to the original commercial? I know ive seen it based on the song sounding so familiar, but i just cant picture the commercial right now.

wow
they're taking their losses that seriously?

It's not just this year. The Russians haven't won Olympic gold in hockey since 1992 after many years of absolute dominance. To be knocked out in the quarters is as big of a deal as Canada being knocked out in 2006.

Plus, this year marks the first where they haven't won a gold in figure skating, a field that Russia has dominated for over 50 years.

Their forecast at the beginning was 40 medals. They got 15. The 15 isn't bad but when they were destroyed at so many of their primary sports (esp figure skating...), they're taking it seriously.

It would be like if we lost at hockey or if the Dutch lost at speed skating.

seems to me like most russians i've seen are just being sore losers and complete retards when it comes to losing. ie - ovie, evgeni plushenko, putin, and now their president firing all the russian olympic officials?

not a good impression to be giving the world, especially when they'll be the host city of the next winter games

i dunno about all of you but i've been watching watching all our gold medal videos on ctvolympics.ca all day today...

They are Russian, they will eat u...

but in all honestly, the great Czar was embarrassed in Vancouver. It wasnt just the hockey to them. Russia holds great pride and great champions in Figure Skating, and for them to be shutdown in GOLD, especially the pairs where they have furiously dominated in the past shows the frustration going through the Russian Federation.

It would be the same if Holland was completely shown up and dominated in longtrack speedskating. That would be a devastating blow to the Countries pride. The dutch didnt whine when Sven Kramer got DQ'd, and he came back to beat an Olympic Record int he bronze race at the Oval.

No country wants to get embarrassed, its plain and simple, and if this is the Russian way of doing things, then the world can only watch

Ovechkin on the other hand came to town with attitude, but in the end, it was the countries poor choice that put the Russian Miracle on hold for another four years.

same :cry:

hey man, im just hoping the Chechens dont pull some moves on sochi =/

maybe this will cheer you up? just uh watch it over and over

i did the exact same thing at work today, and im doin it again. Crosby's gold, Bilodeau's golden run, Bilodeau's golden moment, Joannie's medal ceremony to Jon Montgomery's beer run

pride and glory and a lil bit of tears rushed through the body, that was awesome

This was one of my fav ads;

YouTube- Molson Canadian Commercial Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games

god i miss olympics

regardless, it's definitely not a good vibe to be sending out when they're on the world's platform for the next games

it'd probably be smarter to just take 2010 with a grain of salt and move on, and figure out how to improve when the games are on their home ice

everything about what they're doing just screams sore losers

It sucks to go from such a high that was yesterday to essentially nothing today but essentially desolation and destruction of the pavilions, signage, etc. I've been watching all online clips I could find of the games and street parties, my own footage/pics, and almost every link posted on here.

always looking back for the first high...I NEED MY DOSE OF OLYMPICS =[

so how much do you guys think this will increase tourism in vancouver?
